Some real lumpy showers coming through, quite wet & windy on Somerset, bugger.

Harden up Elfy! Get that ten foot tinny out amongst it. Stay safe mate.

Some nice little accumulations from these showers which as far as I can tell are expected to persist through to the weekend.

Not much left of these showers as they move inland, just 3.5mm here today, best fall in over 2 weeks. Mind you everythings still lush and green and soil still wet from heavy Feb rain. A couple more 30mm+ falls over the next few weeks would be fantastic going into the cooler months. Then a few months of 22-28 degree dry, sunny days and refreshing cool 4-12 degree nights before a nice big ecl or some other rain event. Not asking too much am I??

Wynnum Nth rain since 0900 - 56.4mm.

Meteye said 9 mm max 1000-1600, OCF says 8 mm from 0900 today to 0900 tomorrow.

Year to date 442.2mm, having now exceeded average to end of March of 431mm.

Always going to be some places that get a lot more or less than others when there's heavy showers. I only got 10mm here.

Just squaring the ledger a bit here. As we tend to miss out mostly from thunderstorm heavier falls due to the sea breeze effect, we usually make up the numbers with onshore falls.

A coastal trough is combining with a decent onshore flow to produce showers along the coast and the adjacent ranges. In the far south of the region (the northern MNC and adjacent parts of the NTs), it is already helping to bring pockets of moderate to heavy rain/showers (some accompanied by lightning/thunder) and there are signs that heavy to perhaps locally very heavy falls could occur tomorrow. Showers or rain patches, possibly locally moderate to heavy, should persist into Friday and Saturday, mainly along the coast south of the border.

Severe Weather Warning for Heavy Rainfall is current for pretty much all of the Mid North Coast and southeastern areas of the Northern Tablelands. With the warning noting that:
- Heavy rain / possible flash flooding is expected to move up into northern parts of the Mid North Coast and eastern parts of the Northern Tablelands tomorrow, where 100 to 200mm falls are expected.
- Some locations could receive more than 200mm in a 24 hour period.
- Very heavy rainfall, with rainfall rates exceeding 70mm in one hour, are also possible with thunderstorms.

Received 22.4mm here in the 24hrs to 9am from two surprise early morning storms which came ashore with a little bit of lightning/thunder in each of them. 5.0mm since 9am, mostly from a sharp shower. Infrequent thunder has been heard during this afternoon/evening.
Elsewhere in the local region since 9am, there's been a number of 30-75mm falls in the area between Port Macquarie and Bowraville.

6.5mm here since the showers started early this morning. Somerset eventually cleared up, bit of redclaw for entree tonight, no biters at all. Nice to see it rain again.

Wynnum Nth 24 hour rain 61.8mm.

36.2mm in the 24hrs to 9am here. Just a touch too far north for the heavier stuff, with Seven Oaks only 12-13kms to our southwest getting 108mm over the same time. The highest totals in the 24hrs to 9am on the northern MNC reported from BOM's gauges so far are:
168mm Mt Seaview
160mm Comboyne Pub School
145mm Comboyne
128mm Kerewong
122mm Upper Rollands Plains

The SWW for Heavy Rain for the MNC and southeastern NTs remains current: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDN21037.shtml

The overnight rain did push us past our March average (184.2mm) and a little over the 200mm mark for the month to date.

Nice!
Pretty close to what I got.
33.8mm in my gauge till 9am this morning and 4.3mm since.

We've fared differently since 9 though, it rained moderate to heavily in this part of town for about 45 minutes (approx 9:30 to 10:15am). Almost all of the 29.8mm since 9am fell during it.

Flood Watch has moved northward to cover almost all MNC rivers in latest update:

I think that may be down to the fact that my rain gauge seems to have gone offline seems that between 9-10 am it has died and is not showing up any more, it recorded that 4.3mm at some stage in that time and then that was it - slightly annoying.

Another 4.5mm 24hrs making total 11mm so far. Tad windy as well.

Kempsey up to 106mm since 9am this morning, My sister is a passenger on the way back from Kempsey to SWR at the moment and has sent me a short video of the rain, looks like fairly solid falls at the moment.

50.4mm since 9am here. After the morning mod-heavy rain period, there have been occasional mod-heavy showers passing through.
Since 9am today, the wettest areas have been around Kempsey, with Boonanghi leading on 152mm and other gauges (including the Kempsey AWS) receiving over 100mm.
A minor flood warning is current for the Hastings River: http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/warnings/flood/hastingsriver.shtml
Moderate to heavy rain/showers should continue about the northern MNC and adjacent parts of the NTs tomorrow.

Damn, not the best timing for that to happen.

No not at all, but I spoke with my brother and the good news I guess is that it isn't my weather station, their internet connection is playing up, sucks that it had to be today but I have my sister keeping a close eye on her manual gauge but other end of town (she is out near coles) - her readings so far are 25mm overnight last night and then 55mm since 9am this morning but that was earlier today. Still fairly close to the numbers you are getting.

ACCESS-C Syd Sure seems excited

06 run and out to 11pm tomorrow night.

Wynnum Nth 24 hour rain 3.8mm.
